Mine is a cross-platform IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp, shipping as a self-contained app or a terminal-native core variant.
Key Takeaways
Two distribution modes: mine-app (Windows/macOS, zero dependencies, all-in-one) and mine-core (all platforms, requires a Unicode + Kitty keyboard protocol terminal).
Coalton provides strong static types with functional programming semantics; Common Lisp provides dynamic typing and CLOS; Mine supports both simultaneously in the same project.
The Kitty keyboard protocol requirement for mine-core narrows compatible terminals but enables richer keyboard input handling than traditional terminal APIs allow.
Positioning as “it Just Works or it’s a bug” signals a strong quality contract for the packaged app flavor, unusual for Lisp tooling.
